“Happy birthday to the funniest, most talented man I ever knew, my ex-husband, father to our two beautiful children and most of all, my friend @kristoffstjohn,” she gushed alongside a collage of pics of the Charlie & Co. alum. “Till we meet again.”

MIA ST. JOHN ADVOCATES MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE

Mia St. John has lost not one but two loved ones who both succumbed to mental illness. Her son, Julian St. John, committed suicide at the age of 25 in 2014 after a long struggle with depression.

Five years later, her ex-husband - and Julian's father - Kristoff St. John passed away from hypertrophic heart failure, caused by excessive consumption of alcohol which he used to self-medicate for his chronic depression.

Mia guested on the "The Doctors" to call attention to the very real pain mental health issues causes and to advocate for improvement in the treatment meted out to sufferers.
